Will Ferrell And Zach Galifianakis Go Head To Head In First Poster For The Campaign

Politics is a strange and mixed up world. While we should be voting for the smartest, most qualified people to be in our government, the whole thing is dominated by special interests and money that it's insured every little election will be just as ridiculous as the last. The insanity of the political world has been the subject of comedy before, but this summer it's all about Will Ferrell vs. Zach Galifianakis.

In The Campaign, which is directed by Jay Roach, the two comedic titans go head to head fighting for a congressional seat in North Carolina. Given the face-off at the center of the plot, it's not hard to understand why its something that the studio would render literally for the film's first poster. The one-sheet was posted over on the movie's official Facebook page (you can follow the individual candidates here and here) and you can see the full thing below.

Due out on August 10th, The Campaign stars Ferrell as Cam Brady, a professional politician who typically runs unopposed, but one year a strange man named Marty Huggins (Galifianakis) decides that he wants to run for office as well. The film has a stellar supporting cast that includes Jason Sudeikis, Sarah Baker, Dylan McDermott, Brian Cox, John Lithgow and Dan Aykroyd.
